Mitaka Series Release Notes

8.3.0

New Features

  • Add ability to configure cache parameters. This feature was implemented in puppet-nova during Newton but backported in Mitaka because Nova deprecated memcached_servers in Mitaka. The backport is not using puppet-oslo but the results are the same.

  • Case insensitive ‘libvirt_rbd_secret_uuid’ option for nova compute rbd.

Known Issues

  • Using nova::wsgi::apache_api to deploy Nova in WSGI with Apache is not recommended by Nova team. See bug 1661360.

Upgrade Notes

  • The default value for nova::compute::libvirt::libvirt_cpu_mode when nova::compute::libvirt::libvirt_virt_type is set to ‘qemu’ has been changed from ‘host-model’ to ‘none’. The Nova gate does not really test the ‘host-model’ option in their CI, but ‘none’ due to Devstack configuration, and it is known to create issues with QEMU 2.6 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404627).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes bug 1660099 so we don’t restrict vncserver_listen to be binded on 0.0.0.0, which has been wrong for long time. Nova allows to bind on any IP and live migration will be supported.

  • Fix vmware section name, should be vmware and not VMWARE.

  • Add missing insecure, ca_file and datastore_regex parameters

8.1.0

New Features

  • Make the nova_api database creation default to “true” since it is now required in Mitaka

Upgrade Notes

  • When upgrading, be aware that the default value of sync_db_api has changed from “false” to “true” for this database.

Deprecation Notes

  • network_api_class parameter from nova::network::neutron doesn’t take effect anymore and will be removed in future. Set use_neutron always to true as nova::network::neutron is a Neutron-specific class
